Jazz Fusion Quartet Recording Session - "Coasts" composed by Vaibhav Mohanty

It was a great pleasure to provide the recording and impromptu video recording for the  JAZZ FUSION QUARTET RECORDING SESSION - for the piece "COASTS" COMPOSED BY VAIBHAV MOHANTY.  Vaibhav while now beginning his journey to studies at Harvard university this Fall 2015, he has already composed and had his pieces performed at some wonderful concert halls in the US.  He is certainly a talented and eclectic musician, composer, and artist.  

This piece "Coasts" was composed based upon the Odissi Raga Bajrakanti an Indian Classical raga and it performed by this jazz quartet that included:

Anton Derevyanko
Tenor Saxophone

Michael Wooten
Piano

Conner Duke
Bass

Benny Woodard
Drums

Well, this is the perfect example of these damn young people these days!  They can FUNK and Jazz it up!!  A very impressive group of young men, that I look forward to working with in the future.  

Recordings were done in one room to maintain interaction and cohesive natural sound.  While we have an elaborate headphone monitoring system, no headphones were used.  

Special thanks to Vaibhav for sharing this wonderful composition and developing this production.
